The powers that be thought that voters would want to support children of the Columbus City
Schools by voting for Issues 50 and 51. By the way, we do support children; my son and I both are
graduates of the district.

But what did the Columbus Board of Education do with the money from the last levy? No one during
the campaign was willing to respond, but rather forced cute ads down the voters’ throats to try to
get at our pocketbooks.

There are too many unanswered questions about the data-scrubbing scandal and the grade-changing
issue for voters to agree to a levy. The voters are still waiting on the state auditor to provide
his final report. We were told it would be out in August of this year. Is it a coincidence that it
did not come out before the election?

Finally, it was said that this is just the first inning. No — game over. The voters have spoken.
The vote results of more than a 2-1 margin said it all.
